Paint Spill Disaster!!

After reading my "thought for the week" about speedball ink and sneezing, folks are reqesting pictures. Unfortunately, while we have had many speedball ink mishaps, we never took pictures :-(.

I do however have pictures of last year's paint spilling disaster. We were storing dark gray paint in our son's closet (for use in finishing up the trim in his bedroom - if we ever got around to it) when it fell out of the closet (which is really sort of a cupboard - the bottom of which is a foot and a half off the ground - the door in the photo is the hall door, closet is behind it) and spilled over a 3 foot square section of the very expensive carpet in that bedroom.

Foolishly, we tried for about 45 minutes to clean it up (what was I thinking?!) before we threw in the towel (threw away the towel, actually) and just cut that section out of the carpet. We bought a piece of similar carpet with which to patch the spot. Although we have cut the patch to size, in true overbooked fashion, we have yet to officially install it.....

Goals

I was raised with a Scots/German dedication to setting goals. I imagine this was to teach me discipline and help me maintain a forward momentum. I'm sure it was not to create a constant sense of inadequacy.
That was just a bonus.
